We are getting lots of rain and mild wind here on the southern coast today too. So far the girls are liking their added shelter. Coming out in between rain showers.

If you wait until Spring you can get them at Wilco stores. You can get 5 for free with each 50 lb bag of Purina Flock Raiser feed. I'm not sure if there is a limit.Hello Oregon,
I was contemplating my chickens for next spring, and was wanting to ask a few questions of the folks here at large.
Is there a store around SE Port, Oregon city or someplace that sells cornishX in batches of 10?
Years ago there was a farm store on beavercreek rd close to less Schawbs. It ain't there now. When it was there, I got some cornish from them, I think it was 25 if I remember correctly.
Where dose one get those nasty little guys nowadays? Anyone know what month they become available? (also, how much do chicks cost in groups of 10?)
In other news, one of my silkies finely started laying eggs. She laid for about 3 weeks and then went broody. I couldn't find any sexlink hatching eggs, so I put about 10 quail eggs under her. They are due to hatch an Oct 3[SUP]rd[/SUP]. We'll see how that turns out.
Thanks for the help. Mike
Just wondering what everyone here in Oregon does to get ready for our winter rain and wind. I'm on the coast and this is my first winter having chickens. So far we have put up 2 wooden panels with plastic under the hen house to give the girls some added shelter and added the camo roof to their coop to help keep the rain out.
I know what you mean. Today I walked by my with an umbrella and it hit the top of their hen house. You would have thought they were under attach. They all came running out of their coop into the run and looked at me like what's you doing to us man.I use clear tarps for top and sides of the 12 x 12 soon to be 24 x24 Dog kennel . Keeps them dry and warm Yet days like today i bet they would of been scared of the noise

Thank you Leslie,
I'll be needing 200lbs of feed for em anyway, so maybe that would work out good for me.
Any idea what month the classify as spring?
Quote: This year there was no limit. They did it last week of March I think. They may have some still at the store. They have chicks in Sept too. They had them last weekend still.
